Citizenship or residence permit?
The choice of the preferred option depends on many factors. Let's consider the main ones:
Citizenship
  • Permanent status that does not require renewal.
  • Allows to stay in the country of citizenship for an unlimited period of time and enter it without hindrance.
  • Defines the legal and, in some cases, tax status of the person, can affect the possibility of obtaining citizenship by relatives.
  • Allows to enjoy all the benefits provided by the state of citizenship - medicine, education, visa-free regimes.
  • Protection against extradition.
  • Investment attractiveness of citizenship - the existing practice whereby the citizenship of the founder of a startup often influences the attitude of big investors to it.
  • Opportunity to use different legal regimes in relation to one's property.
RESIDENCE PERMIT
  • As the abbreviated name implies, it is a temporary residence permit in another country, which is issued on certain grounds and requires renewal.
  • There may be requirements for the period of stay in the country of residence permit in order to maintain it (e.g. UAE - work permit requires presence for at least 6 months per year).
  • Can give a number of jurisdictional benefits (visa-free travel to some countries, access to medicine and employment opportunities).
  • Depending on the grounds for issuance may give the recipient different status and rights (limitation of work term for student residence permit, a long period of residence permit for the purchase of real estate).
The possibility of obtaining citizenship or a residence permit depends on individual circumstances.
The possibility of obtaining citizenship or a residence permit is determined in each case individually and depends on the person's current citizenship, existing international restrictions, special circumstances (talents and achievements, family ties, education, marriage).

These conditions are constantly changing, as well as the available citizenship and residence permit programs. To correctly determine the options available to you, schedule a free consultation with our experts, who will find the right options for you to obtain citizenship or residence permit.
